After struggling with anxiety, depression, and weight gain in adolescence, in 2004 Josh let go of over 75 pounds and transformed his life by becoming a health and fitness professional that would coach over 12,000 sessions and evolve into one of the top wellness influencers on iTunes.

In this podcast together, we discover the connections between our emotions and healthy habits to live our best life and enjoy the process. Every week, you'll learn from exceptional people who have dedicated their lives to being a positive force for our global collective.

Have you noticed that an
over-obsession with health
research and chasing the symptom rabbit down all the black
holes online can create an unhealthy lifestyle?

There is a term for an obsession with excessive
elimination diets, and being overly concerned with avoiding
foods you believe to be harmful:

It's called
orthorexia.

Being obsessed with your health sounds like a great thing
on the surface when you're dealing with disease or physical distress, but the truth is that
we as humans tend to have a fundamental flaw:

Thinking that more analysis and more testing will lead
to better wellness results.

But paradoxically, the more that most people tend to stress
about "finding the one answer" that will ease
the pain, the more is actually becomes what is blocking them from
hearing the messages the body is trying to say that will yield
relief.

On this podcast with Dr. Michael Ruscio, we're discover the
underlying issues that cause this need for perfection, and how to
focus in on the few lab tests and strategies that will have
the most impact on our well-being.

You'll learn why Dr. Ruscio spends over 30% of
his time with new patients simply "calming them down" from
their over-researched and frenetic clicking online, to
then teach them how to tune back into their body's own voice
and intelligence.

It's through using this emotional
intelligence, and learning how to trust, that we can know deep
down that we will find the answers we're looking for.

The Allure Of Information

With the plethora of health
information available today, it's more important than ever
to develop skills and knowledge to filter through the
noise.

Not only does the mass of information make it
challenging to discover our health needs, but it can lead to
overwhelm and keep us from taking action.

As alternative medicine grows,
more lab and supplement companies stand to make incredible profits
from our desire to find vibrant
health. While
some provide amazing products and services, many make
fictitious claims or provide information that is improperly used by
their consumers.

To take control of our wellness destiny we must learn
to seek out valid information, listen to our bodies,
and find out what makes sense for our lives.

The
importance of understanding that correlation does not equal
causation.

How
to get in touch with your inner voice, and listen to your body's
needs.

How
to maintain balance with an addictive personality.

The
importance of building good gut health from an early
age.

Top 3 Takeaways From The Show

If you improve your lifestyle and diet and can't seem to
get adequate results, you may want to seek out a clinician or
trusted wellness source to guide you through the process.

Over-testing and analyzing can cripple us underneath
information, making it hard to process, sort through, and
prioritize. We must develop our body's intuition and find out
what health measures will have meaningful impact.

We must realize when to step back, relax, and stop
measuring every aspect of our health. The frenetic search for
health can keep us from the well-being we desire.

Power Quotes From Dr. Mike Ruscio

"We
must use scientific literature the right way to improve our
results, rather than distract us and make the results
convoluted." - Dr. Michael Ruscio

"It's
not about doing lots of testing, but rather the few tests, and the
few interventions that have been shown to have the most
impact." - Dr. Michael Ruscio

About Dr. Mike Ruscio

Meet Dr. Michael Ruscio. A doctor, researcher,
author, and health enthusiast. He practices functional medicine
with an emphasis on natural and nutritional solutions.
He gives smart, busy people who are suffering from symptoms of
chronic illness simple steps to get better, and get on
with life.

After years of an active life as a healthy athlete, Dr.
Ruscio suddenly found he was tired, depressed, and
his digestion was off. He couldn’t sleep at night.
His hair was thinning and he had no libido. He needed multiple
naps to get through a day and experienced brain fog from eating
almost anything. He was feeling depressed and woke up at 3 a.m.
with insomnia only remedied by chocolate. He went to a few doctors
and disappointingly, all labs tests came back normal. He was told
there was nothing wrong with, but knew something was very
wrong.

He read everything he could on the internet and proceeded to
waste a ton of money on herbs, vitamins and supplements in attempts
at treating his symptoms. He eventually found functional medicine
and figured out that a gut infection was at the root of all my
problems. He learned how to heal the gut, rebalance hormones, and
get back his health.
